citsabhaiyil shivakAmiyuDan naTanamADum naTarAjA
kAlattai kAkkum kanakasabEshA krSNadAsan vaNangiDum kailAsavAsA nI
Oh naTarAjA who dances (naTamADiDum) in cidambaram (citsabhaiyil) along with (uDan) SivakAmi! Oh Lord (ISA) of the golden (kanaka) hall (sabhA) who protects (kAkkum) time (kAlattai) [1], you (nI) are the resident (vAsA) of mount kailAS (kailAsa) who is worshiped (vaNangiDum) by the composer (kRshNadAsan) [2]!

[1] refers to the fact that kaliyug will last as long as Siva continues to dance in the kanakasabha
[2] Madurai Sri Krishnan's mudra - kRshNadAsan, or dAsan kRshNan etc.
